★ Bayonet | Black Laminate (Field-Tested)

The ★ Bayonet | Black Laminate (Field-Tested) sits at the midpoint of this Covert ★ finish's float range. It balances a visible but manageable amount of wear against a friendlier price than the two cleaner grades above it.

Design

A stonewashed blade next to a black laminate handle gives this finish its dark, low-key look, without any painted graphic doing the work. Valve designed it, and the handle material is what carries the visual identity here.

★ Bayonet | Black Laminate (Field-Tested) Float and Wear

The float range runs the full 0.00 to 1.00, and Field-Tested sits roughly in the middle. At this grade the stonewashed texture reads a bit more weathered and the black laminate shows some general wear, though the overall dark look still holds up well. Field-Tested occupies the 0.15–0.38 float band.

FAQ

How worn does Field-Tested look on the Black Laminate?

Sitting at the float range's midpoint, Field-Tested shows a moderate, general wear on the stonewashed blade and some softening on the laminate handle. It's a visible step down from Minimal Wear, but nowhere near as rough as Well-Worn or Battle-Scarred.

Is Field-Tested the best value grade for this finish?

For a lot of buyers, yes — it sits at the midpoint of the price ladder while still keeping the dark stonewashed-and-laminate look intact. It's a reasonable middle ground for anyone who doesn't need the sharpest possible copy.

Does the Bayonet Black Laminate pattern change with wear?

No — the stonewashed-and-laminate design itself stays fixed regardless of wear grade. What changes with wear is surface condition: cleaner grades look crisper, while more worn grades add general texture wear and softening over that same fixed look.
